Hello everyone! Are there any benefits of hosting your own XMPP server, considering I always use end-to-end encryption in all of my chats?

Thank you! But I'm not sure about moving to Matrix, since all of my contacts use XMPP. Also I believe I can communicate with Matrix users via bridge, if I'm correct?

There is a XMPP to Matrix bridge (aria-net.org fork of Bifrost is best), but to be honest the experience isn't great from the XMPP side.
